Terror Hotties Putting Some Juice In Jack Ketchum Adaptation?
Can it be that we’re finally going to get a halfway decent Jack Ketchum adaptation? After having seen The Lost, and having been revolted away from The Girl Next Door, I began to wonder if there was anything Ketchum could write that wasn’t explicative garbage. That particular worm may have finally turned with the upcoming release of Red, a film about the love and family dog who dies, and the ensuing events that lead to murder.
It helps, of course, that red is directed by genre favorite Lucky McKee, who was recently regarded as a Master of Horror in season one of the show by the same name. That and having several genre favorite actors involved in the ride like Robert Englund and terror hottie Amanda Plummer, definitely lends some extra punch to the proceedings. It’s already being compared to Cronenberg’s A History of Violence, and between that and the involvement of Lucky McKee, it’s definitely got a lot going for it.
And we’ll finally get to see how well it turns out October 28th when it’s released on DVD.
